What Is CANSLIM?

CANSLIM is a philosophy of screening, purchasing and selling common stock. Developed by William O'Neil, the co-founder of Investor's Business Daily, it is described in his highly recommended book "How to Make Money in Stocks".

The name may suggest some boring government agency, but this acronym actually stands for a very successful investment strategy. What makes CANSLIM different is its attention to tangibles such as earnings, as well as intangibles like a company's overall strength and ideas.

The best thing about this strategy is that there's evidence that it works: there are countless examples of companies that, over the last half of the 20th century, met CANSLIM criteria before increasing enormously in price. In this section we explore each of the seven components of the CANSLIM system.

If you're investigating CANSLIM as an investment strategy, there's a pretty amazing list of sites that was put together by researchers at Google Answers:


CANSLIM (or CAN-SLIM) Wesbsites


It's well worth a look, if I may say so.
